[QUOTE="Brad Harris, post: 66682, member: 380"] Update: While I loved the 825 and everything that it did for me, I realized I never utilized the simultanious dual band broadcast, which opened up my selection greatly. In my search for a metal (or rugged plastic) enclosure (I even thought about putting the DIR 825 into a hammond mfg enclosure 1590DD), and holding a few products in my hand, I decided on a pair of refurbished airport Expresses (A1264 2nd version). For a few reasons: -I have way too many wall warts in my tool box, this one is built in. -Quite often I have a 2nd wireless world on the other side of a 60-80' stage, ethernet to wireless bridge is a handy feature rather than running cat5 across the stage. -I have my tuning playlist on my iPad and iPhone, AirTunes is a handy feature walking a venue to advance to the next track or repeat a section. - Small size, its about 1/2 the size of the 1590 case I was looking at mounting the DR825 in without a wall wart. -I also found a cheap, small, metal, with a very small wallwart unmanaged network switch made by Rosewill (RC415) -With AirTunes, the event producer can control bgm as they please from thier own library -5GHz, I mainly use Yamaha and AVID digitals, the extra bandwidth is great between the surfaces and my tablets (Motion and iPad). -Hard plastic, like how things used to be made.
